À la fin des années 1960, une jeune mariée en fuite nommée Covey disparaît dans les vagues au large de la Jamaïque. De nos jours, Eleanor Bennett perd son combat contre le cancer, laissant à ses deux enfants, une clé USB.
Byron and Benny struggle to process the revelations learned in Eleanor's first recording, which leads to the question of whether their mother's confessions will help them reconnect or leave them more lost than ever.
Covey gets a chance to start a new life, but only if she makes a huge sacrifice. In present day, Byron must recognize the inequalities he faces at work and Benny reveals the reason she's been estranged from her family for eight years.
